About this Item
Cartonnage moderne bleu pour les tomes 1 et 2 et demi velin postérieur pour le tome 3. Trois volumes grand in quarto (253x202 mm), xxxii-519-(5) pages et 4 planches dépliantes / (2)-viii-732 pages, 2 tableaux dépliants et 2 planches dépliantes / (2)-viii-582 pages et 1 planche dépliante. Quelques rousseurs claires. Une tache en haut des pages du tome 3. Tome 3 non rogné. Édition originale. Rare avec le troisième volume, publié sous le titre "Traité des différences et des séries" en tant que suite du traité du calcul différentiel et qui y sera intégré lors de la seconde édition. Provenance : Ivor Grattan-Guiness (ex libris). Ivor Grattan-Guinness (1941-2014) était un historien des mathématiques et de la logique. Il a reçu en 2009 le Prix Kenneth O. May de la Commission internationale sur l'histoire des mathématiques. References : DSB [VII p.550 : "The first volume of Lacroix's treatise on the calculs, in which he united all the scattered methods, harmonized them, developed them, and joined has own ideas to them, appeared in 1797. It was followed by a second volume in 1798, and a third appeared in 1800 under the title - Traité des différences et des séries - (a second edition appeared in three volumes [1810, 1814, 1819]). This monumental work constituted a clear picture of mathematical analysis, documented and completely up to date. While Lacroix followed Euler on many points, he incorporated the various advances made since the middle on the eighteenth century. The treatise is a very successful synthesis of the works of Euler, Lagrange, Laplace, Monge, Legendre, Poisson, Gauss, and Cauchy, whose writings are followed up to the year 1819"]. ___________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________ENGLISH_DESCRIPTION : Volumes I & II in modern blue cloth, volume III in later half vellum.
